INDIA CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS WORKING GROUP

Fostering Corporate Partnerships to Support Small and Growing Businesses

The ANDE India Corporate Partnerships working group, in collaboration with the Strategic Alliance partners (GIZ, Bosch and Intellecap), aims to be a supportive early stage laboratory for ideas that strengthens the ecosystem and facilitates collaboration between intermediary organizations (e.g. incubators, investors, and donors) corporations and ultimately small and growing business (SGBs) through:

Knowledge Sharing to increase mutual understanding and identify best practices

Convenings to develop stronger connections between stakeholders

Development of relevant tools to foster partnerships between corporations, intermediaries and SGBs

Advocating for more SGB-Corporate partnerships by sharing success stories

Corporations are increasingly recognizing the value of SGBs in their CSR strategy, as well as to their corporate bottom line. The ANDE India Corporate Partnerships Working Group will help fill in in the gaps in knowledge about opportunities, potential partners, and mechanisms for engagement to help SGB-Corporate partnerships live up to their potential.

WHY JOIN?

Develop a pipeline of future partners including connections to 80+ ANDE members operating in India

Establish working relationships with other grant making institutions, corporations, incubators and investors
